Yes. Read what the Founding Fathers had to say about it. Or the Holy

Economics doesn't change ethics. It makes giving up hypocrisy
cheaper.
I am very aware of precisely how this applies to my own belief in the
benefits of proprietary software. That's why I asked people who have
the opposite belief to help me change it.
